Chrysler – Fantastically Terrible, Part 2
Just after the Superbowl, I wrote about my favorite ad. Oddly enough, it was a Chrysler ad. I ended it with, “Chrysler needs a product worth selling (see Jeremy Clarkson’s rip of the Sebring – which is largely unchanged for 2011) before they go pulling on our collective heartstrings. Shame on you, Chrysler (but a [...]
Los Rakas – Kalle (Official Music Video)
In July 2010 I helped Craig with this shoot. Since he did all the heavy lifting, I’m just going to repost what he wrote, I present to you the video for Los Rakas – Kalle. We shot this back in July 2010, so technically this was my second music video. Glad we were able to release [...]
Chrysler – Fantastically Terrible
This has been my favorite commercial for the past few weeks. When I first saw it, I thought I was seeing an ad for BMW or Mercedes. The photography, music, nostalgia it evokes, even the voiceover – everything about it is great. Except for the product it’s pitching. Right, the other half of the coin. Chrysler’s [...]
Snow Day
A few years ago (damn! time flies!) I asked a good buddy of mine to draw up an animation for me, based on that feeling you’d get as a kid when you woke up and saw the ground blanketed in snow. Would school be cancelled!? I wonder how many kids across the country are going [...]
Saturday Night @ Rockwood Music Hall
Saw Robbie Gil play at Rockwood Music Hall tonight. Awesome live music. Brought my trusty SD750 and flip cam. I shot video of 3 songs. Here’s ‘The Big Picture’ (the piano at 3:15 is super fun). The other two are, ‘I’m Gonna Make It’ and ‘Save Yourself.’
2011 Is Kicking My Butt
So far, 2011 is kicking my butt. The way I see it, I’ve got three choices: a) keep moving forward b) start over c) procrastinate I choose a. 2011, let’s rock.
Emma’s Feet
I’m no fashion photographer, but sometimes it’s fun to pretend. (Thanks, Emma, for your feet, and Greta for setting things up!)
Super Harvest Moon and A Wacky Lightning Storm
The Super Harvest Moon was a bit of a bust in NYC last night as cloud cover from an unseasonably warm night obscured any decent view of the moon during sunset. And by the time the moon broke through the clouds, the fun colors the sun was supposed to cast on the moon were gone [...]
Tracy Moseley, 2010 DH World Champion
(I’m a week late with this, I know!) Congrats to Tracy Moseley for taking home the 2010 DH World Championship @ Mont-Saint-Anne! Here’s a photo I took the week prior @ the World Cup @ Windham. You can read about her run on Pinkbike.
2009 Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld Lookback
‘Cross season is upon us again! I was fortunate enough last year to shoot most of the east coast races that the Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld guys contested. Because they had such a monster season (Tim Johnson will be racing in the Stars and Stripes jersey for 2010) I thought it would be fun to take a look back [...]
Hurricane Earl
When news that Hurricane Earl was due to hit the eastern seaboard reached me, I did the most sensible thing I could think of – I went to the beach. Long Beach, NY, that is. Inspired by Clark Little, I brought along a $10 disposable Kodak (film! gasp!) camera. I thought it’d be fun to [...]
Volcanic Ash
I’m sure you’ve heard about the volcanic ash that’s blanketed Europe by now, yeah? Did you know it’s evil volcanic ash? Taken from the Sac Bee, and flipped to show you the evil. Tell me that’s not an evil face!
Road Trip!
I took an impromptu road trip to Colorado in March. Impromptu because some work I had in Asia fell through, leaving me with a gaping hole in my calendar. So I jumped into the Snowpocalypse S2000, and, 1,700 miles later found myself skiing in CO. I’ve been so busy since I got back that I’ve [...]
Redline Time Attack at NJMP, Pt 1
I know I made two posts yesterday that had pics from Sunday’s Redline Time Attack at NJMP, however, consider this the first *official* post about it. :-P I took over 2,000 pictures on Sunday, so I’ll be editing them steadily for awhile yet. As I do, I’ll post what I can. Right now, 3 pics [...]
Busy, busy, busy
I’m slacking on the posts, I know, but it’ll all make sense soon. I hope. T-minus 10 days. I’ll have several full posts up by then (I hope). Oh, I shot the Redline Time Attack on Sunday at NJMP (New Jersey Motorsports Park). Here’s two photos that I can share. The COBB GT-R and a [...]
Stress
After posting my video short, ‘Beer Run‘ on s2ki.com, a poster mentioned that it reminded him of Claude Lelouch’s 1976 film, Rendevous. Short Movie Rendez-Vous of Claude Lelouch, in Paris in 1976 On an August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Mercedes. He drive at [...]
Two Vidoes I Keep Rewatching
First, a Will Roegge and Joshua Herron collabo – ‘Keep Drifting Fun‘. I’m digging the music. Great driving, thumping rhythm. Song is ‘Percussion Gun’ by White Rabbits. Looks like iTunes just bled me for another 0.99. Drift Mechanik’s Keep Drifting Fun from Joshua Herron on Vimeo. And second, Red Bull F1′s promo for Quebec 2010. [...]
New Toys
Got a new lens for Christmas and some off camera lighting. First thought? Scary story face. Here’s a quick self portrait from tonight.
Pete Senia Memorial in Prospect Park
Sunday, Oct 4th, I dragged Craig out again to shoot with me. This time we were in Prospect Park, which is a much shorter commute for the both of us. Lugging 30lbs of photo gear on my back to shoot the hillclimb did a number on me. Ow. If I had one word to sum [...]
CRCA Alpine Hill Climb
I dragged Craig out to Englewood, NJ with me the morning of Oct 3rd to shoot the CRCA Alpine Hill Climb. Alpine is a mile long climb separated into two parts. Most locals use it to get their ‘hill’ training done. Prior to my trips to climb the French Alps and Pyrenees I did the [...]
Floyd Bennett Field – Sept 1, 2009
Last night was the final race of the Tuesday Night Series at Floyd Bennett Field. Another great night, weather-wise. Although, there was a crash in the 3/4′s. Both riders involved got up and walked away. Hopefully neither rider was seriously injured. 1/2 leader on the road. Crash aftermath: Winner (I like this photo): That’s it [...]
Unadilla Pro National Motocross Weekend
This had to be one of the most fun shooting experiences I’ve had. A friend of mine has almost 30 acres of undeveloped land in New Berlin, NY. So we went camping up there the same weekend as the 2009 Unadilla Pro National Motorcross Championship (pronounced you-na-dill-uh. I was mispronouncing it for the weeks leading [...]
Floyd Bennett Field Tuesday Night Crit
The next few posts are out of order, but that’s just the way I got around to editing and uploading the pics. O well, I think you can manage. Shot the 16th round of the Cadence Tuesday Night Series @ Floyd Bennett Field last night. This place is impossible to get a good photo at! [...]
Cadence Tuesday Nights at Floyd Bennett Field
I’m exhausted, so this is going to be short. Shot the 15th round of the Cadence Tuesday Night Series @ Floyd Bennett Field (yes, that’s a mouthful) this evening. Since I don’t own a car, I rode my bike the length of Flatbush Ave to get to the race and back (30mi). Flatbush Ave sucks [...]
